Featured Game of the Day: Duel at Dawn by Hacksaw Gaming
Game Overview
Howdy, partner. Ready to draw?
Set against a canyon sunset with a Morricone-style score and a shadowy outlaw staring you down, Duel at Dawn throws you into a 5x5 reel shootout with multipliers up to x200, explosive Duel Reels, and the chance to wrangle up to 15,000x your stake.
If you’ve ever spun the reels of Wanted Dead or a Wild or got into the mayhem of 2 Wild 2 Die, you’ll feel right at home
Bonus Features
There are two main bonus rounds in Duel at Dawn, and they each cater to a different kind of gambler. Let me break it down:
Wild Wild West Bonus- Triggered by landing 3 scatter symbols, this bonus awards 10 free spins. It’s your classic Hacksaw bonus on steroids with frequent Duel Reels and Outlaw Wilds, both showing up more often and with bigger multipliers. Best part? You can extend your bonus by landing 2 or 3 more scatters for +2 or +4 extra spins. It’s a nonstop standoff in the desert.
Dusk ’Til Dawn Bonus - This one feels like a slow-burn thriller that builds suspense like a Tarantino finale. Triggered by 4 scatter symbols, you start with 10 free spins and a 6-bullet chamber above the reels. Each time the Outlaw shoots, a bullet gets used. When the chamber’s empty?
Boom. You get a DuelSpin.
These DuelSpins are where the magic happens. Free rounds with guaranteed VS symbols, which can land multipliers up to x200. You can trigger up to 4 DuelSpins, and each one guarantees more VS symbols than the last:
- DuelSpin 1 = 2+ VS
- DuelSpin 2 = 3+
- DuelSpin 3 = 4+
- DuelSpin 4 = 5
Every DuelSpin also gives +3 extra spins, and best of all? They don’t reduce your main spin count. These bonus spins layer, rotate, and stack the tension, especially when you’re two bullets away from the next DuelSpin.
Gameplay Mechanics
The core mechanic that sets Duel at Dawn apart is the VS Symbol (DuelReel). When it lands, it expands into a full-reel wild and triggers a gunfight between the outlaw and sheriff. The winner’s multiplier between x2 and x200 applies to the win.
Pair that with Outlaw Wilds that not only expand into wild reels but also shoot up to 6 random wilds across the grid, and you’ve got one of the most dynamic base games I’ve seen all year.
All multipliers stack additively when part of the same win. No fancy footwork needed to multiply your way to the bank.

- Constant thrill of VS symbols and expanding reels
